A
new world record was set for the Guinness Book of records at the La Florida
stadium in Santiago, Chile, on Sunday 22 May. A total of 2,357 players took
part in a 120-hour soccer match and broke the previous record held by England,
where a non-stop 105-hour game was played.
The match, which was organized by Entel and Huaweii,
deserved an equally great closing show, and Clay Paky lights were used under
the supervision of local producer Real Audio Sistemas.
At around 7
pm the cup was raised to celebrate the new record, and the show started, which
lit up the sky over La Florida. Twenty-four
Sharpy Wash 330s were more than enough to colour the entire stage.
Despite this, the power of six Alpha
Spot HPE 1500s was also
added, each with their own unique visual effects that harmonized with the
colours of singer Américo\’s show. The lighting was handled by the Chilean lighting designer
\”Polilla\”.
The
Mythos and Scenius units played the leading role
in a varied, dynamic show in the stadium, and their gobos covered the entire
field with beams of light, which could be seen from Vicuña Mackenna, an avenue
which is more than 2½ miles (4 km) from the venue.
The signal stability was excellent thanks to Wireless
Solutions\’s DMX wireless system. The signal got from the lighting desk to the
lighting network about 110 yards (100 metres) away with no problem.
The day ended at around 8:30 pm with a new Chilean and world record. The result
was 504 goals to 505. Clay Paky and Wireless Solutions are must-use products
for this kind of event.
